MIMI

Chapter 40 - Odd Feeling

On the top floor of Glory Trade Corporation, the cold boss man by the name of Tobias Itou walked into his office with his personal assistant Juno behind him jotting down notes.

Properly hanging his suit jacket onto the coat hanger near his polished desk, he leisurely takes his time loosening his tie wrapped around his elegant neck.

Juno watched as his boss prepared to look over the recent set of contracts with an unreadable expression.

He couldn't help but sigh at how hard his boss worked. He rarely received breaks and only finished with work after the sun had been down for hours.

He genuinely was worried for him but equally admired his boss.

Not every young businessman could work day and night signing contracts while managing his own company.

Passing Tobias the notes from today's meeting Juno walks to retreat back to his office when suddenly the door burst open with intense force.

"Tobias Itou you have a lot of explaining to do!" Alec charged into the office with a stern expression.

Witnessing the unemotional man merely sitting serenely in his seat - his head down reading from the stack of documents, Alec felt his upper lip twitch with annoyance.

"Hey, don't ignore me!" Alec complained, placing on a wronged expression.

The slightest twitch could be seen on the silent man's thick dark brows. Taking note of his bosses foul mood, Juno hurriedly turns toward Alec.

"Young Master Alec, I naturally understand you must have something to eagerly discuss with Mr. Itou," Juno begins carefully, nervous sweat pouring down his back. "But if it could just wait--"

"No way can this wait!" Alec interrupted almost immediately. "Tobias, how come you accepted Mimi as one of your employees?"

Once the young girl's name rolled off the annoying man's lips, Tobias's large hand tensed on the organized papers before he gazed up at the blond haired man.

"Juno, you're excused," Tobias promptly ordered with an indifferent gaze.

Appearing hesitant, Juno bobs his head as he then walks out of the man's office shutting the door.

As the door closed, Tobias stared back at the papers in his hand.

"Is that the reason you came into my office?" Tobias spoke while skimming a page.

Alec stared stunned for a moment. This man really wasn't fazed by anything.

"Yes of course it is!" Alec exclaimed fiercely. "How could you agree to hire her?"

"Do you object to her working for me?" Tobias lifts up his dark eyes towards the young man. His deep dark eyes quietly challenging him.

"Ah...not exactly it's merely..." Alec hesitated with his words. "It's unlike you to suddenly have taken an interest in someone's business propositions."

"En. That's true. However, she willingly offered quite a large result in her work." Tobias sighed gently leaning back in his chair. "I sincerely believe she has what it takes after all...not just anyone can become successful after crossing-dressing as an influential man for so long."

Alec chuckled nervously towards his words. Guess what Mimi said was right, he had figured out her true gender. And so quickly too...

However, he couldn't help but observe Tobias suspiciously. The reason for his sudden attentiveness towards his little sister made him curious.
